Explanatory Note
This explanatory note is not part of the notice but is intended to indicate its general effect.
The fuel economy labelling scheme is administered through the fuelsaver website
www.fuelsaver.govt.nz
The fuel economy information on the website has recently been updated to take into account current fuel prices, changes in road user charges and other technical information.
Regulation 9 allows the Minister of Energy, by notice in the New Zealand Gazette, to specify a date before which any existing fuel economy label or fuel economy information must be updated.
All persons who are required to display a label or information under the Regulations must update it with the current information from the fuelsaver website before the specified date.
It is an offence under the Regulations to fail to update the label or information.
The price of fuel per litre has been increased to $2.00 for petrol and $1.45 for diesel.
